Item	Description

Version history

Version	Changes
0.4.0	Shockchain Arrow: Projectile now converts 80% of Physical damage to Lightning damage (previously 20%). Shockchain Arrow no longer releases secondary beams that continue to split. Instead, the initial projectile now consumes Shock to create a Chaining secondary projectile, which creates a Lightning Rod in the ground near its last target after its final chain. This secondary projectile does not consume Shock on targets hit. Shockwave now deals 293-507% of Attack damage at Gem levels 11-20 (previously 306-572%).
0.2.1	Added "Barrageable" gem tag. [Undocumented]
0.2.0	Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread. The mana cost for all Attacks, Marks and Warcries has been reduced, most notably at higher Gem levels. Shockchain Arrows can now chain up to 8 metres away (previously 4). Shockwaves now also hit the monster from which the Shockwave originated.
0.1.0e	Shockchain Arrow's Shockwaves now deal 100% more Damage.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
